VIC Lookup - Robbins Bros. Collingwood- Sands Directory 1914-24
« on: Saturday 27 November 10 05:55 GMT (UK) »
I have a photo of men posing in front of a target holding rifles  possibly at a rifle range, that was taken in Victoria during the period 1914-1924. The photo mount has a handprinted ink stamp reading "Robbins Bros., Collingwood." Probably the name of the framer in Collingwood, or possibly it was of members of a business in Collingwood that used rifles. Rat catchers? Or a local rifle club.
I am hoping that someone may be able to assist by looking up the Sands Directory to tell me when Robbins Bros. Collingwood business was in operation. If possible, when the listing began and when it ceased, and the description of the business.
Many thanks,
Maggie
